PREFACE. 

Advanced Projects in Woodwork is a collection of projects designed to meet the needs of classes 
in high school woodworking. These projects presuppose familiarity with woodworking processes, 
tools, and the two simple joints required in the making of projects contained in the author's Pro- 
jects in Beginning Woodwork and Mechanical Drawing. 

The drawings are complete only as to their general dimensions. The working out of details, 
such as the sizes of mortises and tenons and their locations, is left for the pupil in his work in 
drawing and design. 

It is expected that the projects will afford suitable basic material for classes in woodworking 
design. It remains for the instructor to point out the manner in which this material may be used. 
For illustration, many beginning students are slow in appreciation of possible modifications in 
structure or decoration. Circular tops may be used instead of square or octagonal, and vice versa. 
Modification of the manner of filling side spaces with slats offers variety in initiative. Vertical 
posts may be made tapering and vice versa. Rails and stretchers may be variously employed. 
There is almost always a choice in the matter of joints, — keyed or thru or blind tenon. Fig. i is 
suggestive as to possible modifications of a type. 

In addition to the possible structural modifications, the plates suggest variation in the matter 
of decorative ornament such as pierced and carved forms and simple inlay. Such ornament will, 
of course, be kept subordinate to the structural design. 

The upholstering of stool tops and seats for chairs provides another problem in variation. 

Little, if any, use is made of dowels as substitutes for the mortise-and-tenon. While it is true 
that modern commercial practice makes much use of dowels in this way, the author feels that 
such practice is too often contrary to the principles of good construction. Its genesis lies in 
economy of material rather than in any superiority as a fastening device. 

In the designing of these projects the author has had in mind at all times the thought that most 



ADVANCED PROJECTS IN WOODWORK 



of the students using them would have access only to a band-saw or jig-saw and a miter-box in ad- 
dition to the regular hand tool equipment. For this reason such projects as hall clocks, mission 
beds, etc., have been excluded. The exceptional student will find projects of sufficient size to 







Fi& 1. 



tax his ability and muscle. Easier projects and lighter projects have been provided for the weaker 
members of the class while the use of slats or their omission will provide additional variation in 
time of execution. 

The use of stock ordered S-4-S (surfaced on four sides) has not been anticipated. The use 
of stock S-2-S and moldings such as are carried in stock by lumber yards is presupposed. If a 
working principle for the use of stock partly prepared were asked for it would be : Any material 



PREFACE 



that is carried as stock and which does not h^ve to be ordered especially worked for the project 
a boy elects or designs may be made use of legitimately. Such a principle would permit the use 
of stock S-2-S, moldings of stock pattern, hardware such as hinges and locks without any sug- 
gestion of deception. It would exclude table legs and tops, etc., especially prepared at a mill, and 
offers a rational di\'i(ling line between two extremes, neither of which is desirable. 

Of course, these projects may be used in the teaching of the use of woodworking machinery. 

No definite notes as to methods of procedure are given in this book for the student is supposed 
to have acquired, thru experience with the projects in the elementary book, enough insight to en- 
able him to proceed on his own accord. Definite instruction in making the new joints, in wood- 
finishing, etc. will be found in Esscntiiih of JVondivorkhiir, (ir Woodwork for Secondary Schools, com- 
]janion books by the same author. 

While these projects arc especially arranged fur use with the courses outlined and discussed in 
Correlated Courses in Jl'oodivork and Mechanical Draivini^, by the author, there is nothing in the form of 
the plates themselves to prevent their being used with any course in woodwork. 

July, 1912 IRA S. GRIFFITH. 

The inking of the drawings and the making of the 
perspectives in this book is the worl< of Mr. George 
Gordon Kellar.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING BILL OF MATERIAL. 



Under "pieces" put the number of parts that are alike. 

Under "size" put the various dimensions of pieces. In 
finding the sizes of the various pieces of lumber, e.xamine 
the working drawings for finished dimensions, making due 
additions for tenons, then ad.j Yi," to the v/idth and Yi" to 
the length to allow for cutting out and squaring up. Tho 
ynu are to make use of stock mill-planed to thickness, you 
are to specify the thickness from which this mill-planed 
stock is got. Allow at least Yi" for mill-planing. 

Remember that length always means along the grain. 

Fractions of an inch in width and length are not con- 
sidered. Neither are fractions of a cent in the final results. 
If the fraction is Yi or over, take the next higher whole 
number. If it is less than Y2, drop it. Fractions of an inch 
in thickness that are over 1" and fractions of a cent in 
the price per foot are to be figured as they are. 

Lumber is measured by the superficial foot which is 1" 
X 12" X 12". Boards that are less than 1" thick are sold 
by surface measure. In other words, boards less than 1" 
thick are figured for quantity as 1" thick. 



Standard sawed thicknesses are 1", 1J4", 1}4", 2", 2Y2" , 
3", ZYi" , 4". Thicknesses less than 1" necessitate re- 
sawing these sizes. In some communities the price per 
square foot for re-sawed stock varies for each difference 
of J4" in thickness. 

In figuring, multiply the length by the width by the 
thickness, by the number of pieces. If any piece is less 
than 1" thick figure it as 1". Combine all results that are 
the same in price per foot. Reduce to square feet by 
dividing by 144. Reduce decimally and do not carry the 
result beyond tenths place. Dispose of any fractional part 
beyond tenths as directed above. 

The price list gives the price of lumber per 1,000 feet. 
The price per foot is readily obtainable. 

In figuring finish for these cabinet pieces, double the 
number of feet of stock as given by the stock bill to get 
the number of feet of finish. This is only an approximate 
method but is sufficiently accurate for such pieces as are 
to be made in first jear high school, as specified in Group 
IX of this book.

TEXTBOOKS of MERIT for STUDENTS USE 



ESSENTIALS OF WOODWORKING. By Ira S. Griffith 
A textbook written especially for gi-ammar and high school 
students. The standard textbook on elementary woodwork- 
ing. A clear and comprehensive treatment of woodworking 
tools, materials, and processes, to supplement, but not to 
take the place of the instructions given by the teacher. The 
book does not contain a course of models; it may be used 
with any course. Price, 75 cents. 

PROBLEMS IN WOOD-TURNING. By Fred D. Craw- 

shaw. In the first place this book is a textbook on the 
science and art of wood-turning, illustrated by fifty pen 
sketches. In the second place it is a book of problems — 25 
plates covering spindle, faceplate, and chuck turning. It 
gives the mathematical basis for the cuts used in turning. 
In the third place it is a helpful discussion of the principles 
of design as applied to objects turned in wood. A valu- 
able textbook for students' use. Price, SO cents. 

WORKSHOP NOTE-BOOK— WOODWORKING. By Greene. 
A note-book which furnishes a few general and extremely 
important directions about tools and processes: and pro- 
vides space for additional notes and working drawings. It 
is essentially a collection of helps, ideas, hints, questions, 
facts, illustrations, etc. The note-book is full of sugges- 
tions; shows a keen insisht into subject matter and teach- 
ing methods and is an effective teaching tool. 15 cents. 

WOODWORK FOR BEGINNERS. By Ira S. Griffith. A 
grammar grade textbook. A clear and simple treatment of 
the fundamental facts regarding tools, materials and pro- 
cesses as presented in well organized courses in the seventh 
and eighth grades. Not elaborate yet it meets all require- 
ments. It is well illustrated and is convenient— pocket size. 
Price. 50 cents. 

PROBLEMS IN MECHANICAL DRAWING. By Charles 
A. Bennett. A students' textbook consisting of 80 plates of 
problems, classified into groups according to principle and 
arranged according to difficulty of solution. The problems 
have been selected with reference to the formation of good 
habits in technique, the interest of the pupils and the sub- 
jects generallv included in a first-year high school course. 
Each problem is given unsolved and therefore in proper form 
to hand to the pupil for solution. Price, 75 cents. 



MECHANICAL DRAFTING. By H. W. Miller. A text- 
book on mechanical drawing, and advanced high school 
students. It supplements the work of the instructor in 
such a way as to reduce lecture work to a minimum. It 
shows a wise selection of material, a keen insight into the 
work of the draftsman, and a thoro knowledge of the 
principles and methods of teaching. AVjove all it is a 
practical treatment of subject matter and a students' text 
easih- adaptable to varied schools and conditions. Price, 
$1.50. 

GRAMMAR GRADE PROBLEMS IN MECHANICAL 
DRAWING. By Charles A. Bennett. A remarkably simple 
and carefully graded textbook on the fundamentals of 
mechanical drawing. Its use in the 7th and Sth grades in- 
sures the early formation of correct habits of technique, 
develops the constructive imagination and teaches the read- 
ing of working drawings. In the hands of students, work in 
mechanical drawing c-in be advanced from one to two years. 
Price, 38 cents. 

DEMONSTRATIONS IN WOODWORK. By Clinton S. 
Van Deusen. A successful textbook for country schools, 
consolidated rural schools and grade schools. It consists of 
a series of leaflets each describing in detail the process of 
making one project. Each leaflet shows a photograph of the 
project in use and a working drawing and numerous illustra- 
tions of the tool processes required to construct it. The 
descriptions are unusually clear and well organized step by 
step. Published in complete sets; I, II and III. Price per 
set, 25 cents. Ring binder to hold all sets, 40 cents. 

WOODWORK FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS. By Ira S. 

Griffith, The most complete and comprehensive textbook on 
secondary school woodwork ever published. Treats of Com- 
mon "Woods — Tools and Processes — Woodworking Machines — 
.Joinery — Wood Turning — Inlaying and Wood Carving — Wood 
Finishing — Furniture Construction — Pattern-Making. Al- 
though written for the student, every teacher of high school 
or normal school woodwork will find this text a valuable 
and necessary volume for reference use. It contains 370 
pages and 580 special illustrations. Price, $1.75.

Woodworking Projects — Working Dra^vings Ready for Use 



PROJECTS FOR BEGINNING WOODWORK AND ME- 
CHANICAL DRAWING. By li-a S. Griffith. A work book 
for the use of students in grammar grade classes. It con- 
sists of working drawings and working directions. The 
projects are such as have proven of exceptional sei-vice 
where woodworking and mechanical drawing are taught in 
a thoro, systematic manner in the seventh and eighth grades. 
The aim has been to provide successful rather than unique 
problems. The 50 projects in the book have been selected 
and organized with the constant aim of securing the highest 
educational results. The book is especially suited for use 
in connection with "Essentials of Woodworking" by the
